How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Headington Hill
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested. If you have external beads that have gone brittle and cracked and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Headington Hill first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
We price commercial jobs in Headington Hill from photos, drawings or a site visit, and the scope is set out in writing.
In a smaller place such as Headington Hill, commercial buildings are usually a mix of shops, a pub or café, a school, a surgery and perhaps a few business units. They’re not big jobs one by one, but their joints need the same preparation as anywhere.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common questions from Headington Hill clients
Can you work at a site such as Shotover Trading Estate, by Headington Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in Headington Hill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Shotover Trading Estate included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do hotels near Headington Hill have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What site paperwork can you provide?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Our applicators are CSCS-carded.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Removal comes first, every time. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet, which is how mould gets back in. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. Behind a panel or frame, that water can sit unseen for a long time. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
What affects the price in Headington Hill
Before we quote, we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

What else we do in Headington Hill
What the job involves on each surface
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, phasing the rooms so not every toilet is closed at once.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control; we install what’s specified.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
